BTS: Designing a Crochet Sweater

I recently finished my second crochet sweater (third if you count that one that I didn't design myself) and I decided not to write up a pattern for this one. I did this, in particular.. because I wanted to have the freedom to kind of go with the flow for this design. So, since I don't have a pattern to share, I thought I'd share a little bit of the behind the scenes stuff involved with designing a garment pattern. Maybe to inspire you to create a sweater of your own!

Let's talk goals..

What's your biggest goal as an artist or designer? Mine is definitely designing cool pieces around today's fashion. I love to take an idea of a simple style or unique construction and translate that into a crochet piece that's different from anything you've seen. I love fashion and working with different fibers and textures. I'm a creative mind in all aspects. It's like I have this constant want to make or come up with these amazing new things. I can do all of that through crochet and designing. I think it's the most satisfying form of art there is.
